How to play Akshan in ARAM Mayhem

Akshan is a below-average pick in ARAM Mayhem on patch 26.21: tier C, #164 of 173 champions, with a 45.3% win rate over 637,856 games.

84% of Akshan's damage to champions is physical, so enemy armor is what slows it down. It brings almost no crowd control, so it relies on teammates to set up kills.

The Crit build, critical strike and attack speed items, is both the most played and the top-ranked path: The Collector, Infinity Edge and Lord Dominik's Regards, with a 46.8% win rate over 431,256 games. For boots, most players buy Berserker's Greaves, but Gluttonous Greaves rank higher.

The cards that do best on Akshan are Weapon of Destiny, Hand of Baron and Dual Wield. Cards built around movement speed fill most of the top of its list, followed by attack speed and on-hit. Most of its S-tier cards are prismatic, so a prismatic offer is often the pick that shapes the game. Skip Apex Inventor and Infinite Recursion when you can: they do worst on Akshan. A pair to look for: Escape Plan with Ultra Hydra.

Take Flash and Barrier (3% of players); Ghost is the common alternative. Max Q (Avengerang) first, then E, then W.
